Written as a medical student looking for a quiet study space:…read more I want to give this place 4 stars, I really do. The building is gorgeous! It has a quiet study area that's entirely enclosed! It is bright and airy and has convenient rest rooms! But I just can't. The quiet study room is a glassed in room with cubicles around the edge, it is pretty quiet. A great number of homeless people come to this library to charge their phones, warm up, hang out, Etc. Yes, they have just as much a right as anyone else to use the library. However what I saw was them come in with their belongings in garbage bags and carrying sleeping bags. I was studying in the quiet room, over the course of the day homeless patrons came in and due to the small poorly ventilated enclosure I had to leave the study room. To be honest, they were fragrant. But also they are using the outlets to charge their phones, text, and sat around reading comics. It's a bit distracting. I sat at a table outside the study room and find that there are rules glued to all the outlets, that they are only for laptops and a bunch of things not to do. Just as there was in the study room. This library runs a tight ship, but it seems it is because they deal with some rift-raft. The homeless gentlemen in the study room were courteous enough, quiet enough. However the reason I will not be coming back to this library is that when I went to study outside the quiet room on the third floor I was the source of many stares from men. It was incredibly uncomfortable. I was dressed very conservatively but I was stared at almost endlessly by men and they did not feel like friendly stares. Maybe there's a nice kids area- I don't know. But as a single female in her 20s looking for somewhere to study, I don't think I will be back.

Book shelves look more organized there is a nice kid section with stairs that's take you to a "treetop" sitting area upstairs. There is a community room that hold certain activities and events. There is some seating in designated areas. There is even a cute fireplace in the room I'm sitting in with tables and comfy chairs. There is a "study area" for school kids. This is the downside. The middle school is right across the street so kids come over after school and wait for their parents to come pick them up. Kids can be loud and abnoxious, talking loudly about alcohol and drugs. *rolls eyes* I know I've been that age before but it's distracting and hard to concentrate on work or reading.. the staff is pleasant and available to help you. I like to come here alot with my laptop and coffee for a nice place other than my house to work and study or just play on my phone. It's a change of scenery and plenty of brightness. It's convenient but could use some help for relieving new books. They can be hard to locate here if there are any. I just like coming here since it's pretty clean and close by.

Written by a medical student looking for a quiet study space:…read more It is a bit dark in here and pretty dated, on the first floor at least. The second floor is a nice and bright children's area. However that top floor is not really enclosed so sometimes you can hear children squealing even when you are on the first floor. There's a mid sized computer area, all with cubicles pointing in one direction, like a classroom kind of. There's a digital media section as well as a teenager section. There are No specific quiet study areas. There are not that many places to sit and study, there is a shortage of power outlets. I came in one day at opening time and for quite awhile the two employees at the circulation desk were discussing their evening at full volume so I could hear them from the other side of the floor. Also, the bathrooms are in a pretty inconvenient location, which matters for me to stay there all day. The good: it's still reasonably quiet usually. The clientele here is nice, I don't have creeps staring at me. The parking is pretty good. Overall, it's still one of my choice places to study when visiting my mom- but it is not premium for the purpose of quiet study.

I dropped by this afternoon to pick up and return books (so very convenient to pre-order and pickup). The library has two floors. The first floor has checkout desks and some book collections. Notable parts of the first floor are Meeting Rooms, printers, Large Print Books, and passport services (the latter super convenient). The second floor has additional book collections, reference desk, some meeting rooms, computer lab, and book shop. The book shop has cool sales every months with $5 fill the bag specials. Collections at the library are very versatile, you can find all kinds of books. The library hosts a lot of events that are accessible for booking on the library's website. The library also has onsite herb garden, which is pretty amazing. It's a wonderful space for the community. Parking is located in the back of the library with ample amount of space available. At the front there's a connecting pedestrian bridge to another parking lot. I highly recommend a visit, it's a very serene location!

They also have a pet fat tailed leopard gecko that you can ask to hold. It is 10 years old and is as sweet as can be. For the library it self they have a large variety of every type of book you may want, including audio books as well. Since it is also part of the Cleveland Public Library, if you don't see the one you are looking for, they can bring it in from another library for you. I highly recommend this library to everyone and their families. Not a huge reader? Just go and check out the garden area and the history of the building!
